Police, Fire Thugs To Rule Michigan

Bamboozling GOP vanguard in P2P with BigGov Union bigs

The only real problem with Michigan’s new right-to-work law is that it stops short of extending right-to-work protections to public safety employees, who are the workers who need this protection the most.

As noted in the text of House Bill 4003, Section 10, subsection 4, part (a), “Subsection (3) does not apply to any of the following: (i) A public police or fire department employee or any person who seeks to become employed as a public police or fire department employee…”

The consequences of short-sighted Republican pandering to unions representing police, firefighters and prison guards, who typically vote for conservatives, can be seen in California, where cities and counties are now virtually under police and firefighter union rule, and where only the California Teachers Association has more sway in Sacramento than the prison guards union. Wisconsin’s much needed public sector union reforms excluded public safety. Now Michigan has made the same mistake.

Alinsky Nation.

"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared." — Cicero, 106 BC-43 BC
